children's wake up time

my son has been getting up at 700 am for almost 3 years now. he is 5 and i do not mind that time, because i am an early riser even on the weekends, so it really does not bother me. so do not feel bad you are not alone.

In my experience, when I took the kids out to the park & followed that hot park up with a nice time at the pool; I'd fix a nice dinner once we got home, after a full belly and a bath..they were knocked out. So try that. I don't know if you have but let me know if i helped.

I don`t think it`s a problem what you have here. If your kids sleep at least 10 hours / night every ting is OK! Now, if you wanna change their bedtime (which I do not recommend) you can force them to stay awake later then 10.00 PM and in maximum 1 week (this is what the specialists say) they should "learn" to sleep till late in morning.

My son would stay in bed all day I think, if I let him. But we leave toys just outside of his crib that he can reach and play with. He's up and down all night long. When I'm up late, sometimes I hear him singing or talking to his toys. It's really cute. Anyway, I know we are very fortunate. He usually gets up between 10 and 11 am. I know that is sad but true. He plays all afternoon with a short 1/2 to 1 hour nap at about 3. And then he is up until we make him go to bed. During the week he stay up until about 10:30 or 11 and on the weekends we let him stay up until he starts getting cranky. Sometimes that is nearly 1 am! We've checked with his pediatrician to see if he should be on a schedule, but he says that whatever works for him and for us, works. Some kids are just different. Ours can sleep pretty much whatever hours he wants because he is an only child and I am a stay at home mom. If he wants to stay up late I don't mind. I can always take a nap after I fix my husband's breakfast in the morning.

my daughter is 3, she goes to bed around 8 and wakes up at almost 9 am. some times she'll even sleep in later. it's great for me cause i don't sleep good at night and mostly just sleep in the early morning so i'm glad she likes to sleep in too. however she starts school in the fall so she will have a hard time getting up for that. she's so grumpy if i have to wake her up in the morning.

my son is 2...he sleep until 10 or later...he loves his sleep and doesnt wanna be botheren until hes ready....hes always been lik ethis since birth....our thing is...at that age we let him stay away until he just sits there at like 10 with his eyelids drooping....when we put him to bed he falls right to sleep and doesnt wake up until 10....sometimes he gets up earleier, but we let him play hard all day to try and tire him...he even take s a 2 hour or less nap during the day...the best thing is timing i think.

i wake up 10:00 am these days because of holidays.

i was so the same way. i would wake mom up at 8 am for food and she was not a morning person lol. i was adopted at 2 1/2 and was an early riser until my teens. sounds to me like you gotta adjust your sched around your little one's. at least you won't go through it when school comes around. getting sleepy little ones ready is a pain.
